My current disposer is hard wired in and I see this unit comes with an extension cord/plug. Is it possible to hard wire this one in if removing cord?

I don't see why you would have any problem hard wiring the unit. I don't know how the extension plug is wired in but you shoul be able to make the hard wire connection.

This is the last disposal you will ever buy, unless you get another house. They last forever.

yes, I replaced my hard wired In-sinkerator brand with this and hard wired it in

There is a removable cover on the electrical area, so it should be possible to hard wire it.

You have to take it all apart and then reattach all the wires. Too much trouble for me. I just bought a HD extension cord, without an end at Home Depot, and attached a new plug. Plus, I needed a longer cord anyway, to reach a plug. I did not want a cheap cord. Still under $10, and it's super safe too!

I purchased a cord kit and a air switch, you plug the air switch in to a outlet under the sink first and then plug the disposer plug in to the air switch . Then the air switch has a 1/4" plastic tube and a push button which you can put anywhere, I put my switch button in the style face frame of the sink cabinet just below the counter top, you would need a hole saw about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2" I think its been a while.

The disposal does not come with a power cord. You will have to either order one or take the one off of the old disposal if you are replacing an existing unit.

My previous disposal was hard wired and I had no trouble disconnecting it and hard wiring the Legend 9950. Be sure to turn off the power at the main breaker box before disconnecting the old disposal and wiring the new one into the circuit.

The power cable is for a standard 3 prong outlet. It looks like it would be hard to remove. My previous disposal was hard-wired to the electrical circuit so I installed an outlet. It wasn't too difficult. It works great and is super quiet.

Yes it can be hard wired. AND... I really like the garbage disposal (if one could really LIKE a garbage disposal!),. It's pretty quiet!

According to the tag attached to the appliance, it is recommended to NOT use with any extension cord. The unit should be plugged directly into a wall outlet. You may want to contact the manufacturer for confirmation on this.

Since there was no outlet behind the toilet I had one GFI outlet installed. The reason for the GFI is in case there is water leakage. You can plug the unit into any socket just change it out to GFI. No extension cords should be used.

Not that I know of. Had option to purchase 3 bolt unit, my old disposer was 3 bolt, found this unit much easier to install and didn't have to fumble with rusted screws and install took minutes instead of the 15-20 minutes to remove my old 3-screw unit.

Yes, your disposal just has to be wired for a three prong plug. Some come prewired while others are not. The switch plugs into your outlet and the disposal plugs into the switch. (It won't block the other outlet for your dishwasher.)

Your dishwasher has an outflow hose that will connect to a plastic tube protruding near the top of this InSinkerator. You have to use a screwdriver to break out a little plastic partition to let water flow into the grinder compartment before you connect the hose. I don't think mine had a power cord. I was replacing an older unit so I just connected it to the old wires. You will probably want to wire this directly into a house circuit, but could buy a plug and some wire from a hardware store if your unit will be within reach of an outlet under your sink. With "Cover Control" you don't need to wire in a switch. You connect the tailpiece of the InSinkErator to your drain through a U-shaped trap. If you didn't have a similar unit before, but just a sink drain, you may have to rebuild the drain pipes a little to put the trap in line with the InSinkErator output tailpiece. That isn't difficult to do.

You do have to take the unit down as the hard wiring comes from behind the main unit. It isn't hard though. The hardest part is the unit dangling while you switch the wires out. If you can have someone hold the unit while you switch the wires it is easy. TURN POWER OFF, remove the unit, remove the wire nuts, undo the old sensor, connect the new sensor (reuse the wire nuts), and install whole unit back to house. It is cheaper to replace the sensor and not the hole unit.

Sorry but we are on our own septic tank hence. Can't use a disposer so don't. Have an answer

Yes and now. It can be hardwired if your willing to somehow provide the required DC voltage to the unit. Either by incorporating the plug into the hard wiring or using a different AC/DC converter. It's not as simple as running an AC wire to it. Will it be within NEC code if hard wired? I don't know. I put in an outlet right next to the vent at the top of the wall and just plugged it in there rather then being fancy.

It's probably easiest to cut it and direct wire it, But yes you can direct wire it. Incidentally, it's an awesome disposal.

I don't know what the chord you have looks like so I can't say yes or no exactly, you can wire this disposal with a plugged cord but you will have to wire the cord to the connections in the disposal it won't just plug into it somewhere.
